Scales Fall from Eyes of MSM
We can probably chalk it up to those opinion surveys: what the pollsters are writing on the wall is so huge that even the former war cheerleaders in the Mainstream Media must see it. Thus, today we have the scales falling aggressively from the eyes of the MSM on Bush's war: see two watershed pieces from The New York Times and The Washington Post.
Of course, the valiant efforts of Cindy Sheehan and Gold Star Families for Peace in Crawford, Texas, will most likely cause an even steeper decline in the next round of presidential approval ratings. The NYT's Frank Rich compares Bush's ratings to those of LBJ as Vietnam brought him down. In describing the current climate around Bush's war, Rich adds: "On this sinking ship, it's hard to know which rat to root for."
